Osceola. The marshal rode up to
it Thursday night without expecting
to find the fugitive and, Just as he
got into sight OF the house, was sur
prised to see Scott step on to the
porch. Making his way quickly to
the house without being seen he got
close enough to make the capture,
and Scott, finding resistance impos.
sible, gave IN quietly and submitted
to being brought here.
The train the marshal and his
prisoner arrived on came in at 5:I5
o'clock last night. The two alighted,
and taking carnage were driven to
the United States marshal's office IN
the custom house, where they were
seen by a Times reporter. Judge
Scott was glad tine chase was over,
and in response to an inquiry said:
II have been on the go almost con-
stantly, and have felt like a fugitive
all the time. Everybody in the
county lent me assistance, and it
would seem that had an easy time
OF it, but the reverse is true. Itwould
have been the same had l been an
outlawed desperate. l knew no
peace and, as the matter was bound
to eventually end in my arrest, I am
satisfied that the arrest has been
made"
Mr.. Willis is of course highly
elated at the capture. During the
chase he has passed through very
many thrilling experiences. The
people of st. Clair persecuted and
annoyed him, and he had no assist
ance at all from them. In spite ol
all the difficulties he succeeded, ane
he receives great credit for the cap
ture.

While there are many humorous things
about the absence of Senator Jones, of
Florida. from his seat in the body OF which
he is a member, there is one feature of 1t
which ought by this time to attract more
than passing notice. During his absence
he has regularly drawn his paw, his al
lowance for stationery and n salary tor his
son as private secretary. This is mani
Testify wrong in view of the fact that Sen
ator Jones has been physically able to at
tend to his duties. although he has not
been in the Senate day since the present
Congress met.
Seventy-two democrats in st. Louis
have been indicted for frauds committed
in the recent election and their trial will
soon come off. Just at this time a
suspicious anxiety appears among the
Missouri delegation in Congress to hasten
a change in the district attorneyship in St.
Louis. The present republican official
has aided in ferreting out the frauds and
in obtaining the indictments against the
accused persons. With him as presecus-
ing officer there would be no doubt of an
energetic effort to secure the conviction of
The criminals But Senators Vest and
Cockrell are employing part OF their
holiday vacation in trying to induce the
President at once to turn the republican

suaded by the Missouri senators he ought
not to do less than assure himself that his
appointee will honestly perform his duty
in connection with these fraud cases
